A bag of rice was dirt cheap! Not up to #10k Naira was max #170/$ back then, now it's almost #500/$ Businesses have been ruined. We all thought we had it bad until Buhari came and showed us what bad really means. In fact, Buhari redefined the term Bad governance 34 Likes |

The North Western States of Zamfara, Katsina, Niger, Sokoto etc were living going to bed with their two eyes close before Buhari brought in banditry. Abuja-Kaduna-Kano road was once a sweet road to drive on before Buhari came in, now it's impassable even to heavily armed security men, same with Lokoja-Auchi road. A bag of rice was 7k before he came in, now it's 20k+. Need I go on? 23 Likes 1 Share |

All was in a bad state, but he has put all in a worse state after assuming office. with 2023 still farther, we have started feeling the heat of the worst to come from him, now we are hoping to fall back to the initial bad state which now seems to be a good state to us all. Moral lesson: you don’t value what you have till you loose it. Summarily speaking; Nigeria was in search of solution but found a colossal problem. 5 Likes |

wellmax: Do I need to remind you that presidential elections were held in all the local governments in Borno in 2015? How did they hold presidential elections if Boko haram was controlling the local governments? It is either yu are intentionally lying, or you lack adequate information. 14 Likes 1 Share |

Dollar rate was Bae. Rice rate was cool. Adeshina's(AFDB) work in agric brought so much cassava, there was a partial and substantial substitution of imported wheat flour with local cassava flour. Boko Haram wasn't all over the nation collecting crop ransom before farmers could harvest what herdsmen spared. Debt was significantly lower. Power supply bill was lower for similar power supply. I have more up for OP his likes but I know they will likely avoid addressing the issues raised, so I save them. 13 Likes 2 Shares |

CodeTemplar: (Note I am not here to defend or support Buhari ) Things were good before Buhari because we were earning a lot of dollars from high oil prices Thus we had the money to pay debts, buffer the naira and so on. Infact between 2008 to 2014 oil was at 80-130 dollars per barrel From 2014 to date oil has been between 20 to 80 per barrel. And because of the low oil prices we have had to take on more debt to pay for things. The same thing happened between 1973 to 1982. Oil was high then. That was the time when my dad could feed a family and spinsor two relatives on a salary of 300 naira. That was when one ofmy dads colleagues bougjt a car for 900 naira.and by 1978 N1 was $1 Im 1982 oil prices crashed. By 1984 we wre broke and by 1986we had to do SAP. By 1989 $1 was N7. It ia called the resource trap, aka dutch disease.It iswhy when oil prices go up things are good and when they are down things are bad. It is also why a loaf of bread went from 50kobo in 1978 to N20 over ten years later. We know the solution. Cut subsides, cut corruption, cut bloated civil service, become a manufacturing society that axtively exports . It is because Buhari won't take such decisions that makes him a bad leader. And Boko Haram was bombing everywhere and kidnapping everywhere too. Buhari taking over hasn't changed things 2 Likes 1 Share |

expert234: Thats because the government hired mercs to chase off Boko Haram to allow elections to be held in peace Which was not a bad idea. The mercs came from russia and South Africa...countries with good special forces 1 Like |

Buhari already spoilt things in 1983. Plunged the country into its worst recession which it has probably never truly recovered from. He came back in 2015, and decimated the middle class. If you are still asking me what buhari spoilt, then you are mad. 6 Likes |

These twitter political nutjobs should come and ask their useless questions on nairaland. Unfortunately, most of them have their fellow fanatics on their timeline as their followers, so you just get the same line of fanaticism in the comments. They have their audience. |

During the time of Obasanjo, oil was much cheaper than it is now that Buhari is the president, yet things are far worse now. Petrol is now nearly N170 per litre Electricity tariff is now more than double, what it was during the era of Obj and GEJ A Bag of Rice is nearly triple the cost, now that Buhari is the president Banditry, Fulani herdsmen terrorism are now very rampant e.t.c The judiciary is now a department of the executive. Mediocrity and Nepotism all over the place. A fulani judge couldn't even make it past the low level ICC exams. ICC led by an Igbo justice. Can you imagine 4 Likes |
